With two villages involved in the joint library, what happens when they disagree?
Both villages have committed to finding ways to agree on issues and departments that are shared between them. They have signed a contract to that effect; the contract requires a three year notification period for dissolution of the joint library operation. Once a year, generally in October, the two village boards meet together to discuss the joint budget. Operations for the following year are decided at that meeting and agreement must be reached before adjourning the meeting. The costs are equally divided based on each community’s population and equalized valuation.
